Simple Lessons from Complexity. Nigel Goldenfeld; Leo
P. Kadanoff. 

This article discusses how Complexity is affording a
new way of looking at systems
physical, social, economic, and biological.  One point
which is emphasized is the importance of looking at
systems and their components at the right scale, so
that to understand a bulldozer, one doesn't model it
with quarks.  Computers allow us to visualize complex
systems in ways which were impossible before.

the inherent chaotic nature of climate modeling.

Biocomplexity Blooms in NSF's Research Garden.
(special competition for research on 'biocomplexity'
by the National Science Foundation) JEFFREY MERVIS.

This article reports on an emerging interest in
biocomplextiy by the National Science Foundation. 
Recently there were funds allocated by the NSF and
competed for by researchers around the nation. 
Congress has cooperated significantly by providing
funding to the NSF for this program.
